Can someone tell me why I can't get surfaces to render in my drawings? SW 2006SP2 Thanks -- J Kimmel www.metalinnovations.com "Cuius testiculos habes, habeas cardia et cerebellum." - When you have their full attention in your grip, their hearts and minds will follow.
Although a drawing will show a surface in wireframe, SolidWorks can not render (shade) a part without "solid" geometry. To work around this, you can simply create a feature(Insert/Boss,Base/Thicken) with the surface and specify a sliver thin .001" thickness, for example. Per O. Hoel

I thought insert model items had an option to import surfaces & not just dimensions? or were you talking about shading the drawing view & the surfaces do not shade? hope this points you in the right direction Steve T.
